As a sniper this video was pretty accurate. Now to dispel myths... 1. Snipers do not shit or pee their pants. I've never done that or have known anyone to do that in the modern world of combat. I've have been on long stalks crawling for hours and have never had the need to shit my pants. 2. Surveillance Target Acquisition is the technical term most commonly referred to as (STA). 3. Many snipers in todays theaters work in squads. You have a shooter and spotter (typically most senior shooters) and other snipers (typically juniors) who provide security, set up claymores etc... in order to ensure ambushes do not happen. 4. The ghillie suit is cool looking but annoying AF and ichy. 5. Yes snipers on video games do not present an accurate representation. Sniper rifles are heavy, no such thing as quick scoping, jump shots or drop shots. 6. Lastly the video is right when it said the spotter is the most experienced. They have the hardest job and is control of the shooter. The shooter does everything the spotter tells him to do. Good video

Even better to go out and do it. Log books, range cards. you Log EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!........barometric pressure and temp and even temp of your ammo. Buy a laser infrared temp tool. Less than $100 Establish base line fps for your ammo. Measure you rounds OAL and separate them in groups of matching or close OAL> (over all length). Literally learn to shooting between heartbeats. I shot a .33" best group my first time EVER shooting a Savage 110 I had accurized. I had enough data (massive amount JUST for my baseline) recorded to take a cold shot out to 800 yards with >308 Federal Gold Medal Match See my channel for details and target confirmation.

[@SuperSneakySniper]

Number 1 is actually a common misconception. You see, we snipers do occasionally come out of hiding during the spring to mate and search for food after a long winter hibernation. Often times you may hear our mating calls coming from the hills. The call is a combination of rustling branches and erotic groans we make when we are in heat. Sometimes finding a mate can be challenging, and since we mate for life, we sometimes specify our calls to preferable individuals by using pick-up lines. My personal pickup line goes thusly: "Hey babe, are you a handload? Because I'm gunna shove you against the lands and put a hot charge behind ya." Another personal favorite: "Hey babe, are you a Timney Trigger? Cuz you just set me off unintentionally." Number 5 is also not quite accurate (no pun intended). You see, Spotters are actually just young Snipers that aren't quite fully grown. Being the maternally caring species we are, snipers often care for their young spotter until he/she becomes of age. Once the young spotter has grown to become a sexually mature sniper, he/she is ready to receive his/her rifle. Rifle reception is a very important moment in a young sniper's life. If lucky, the young sniper will receive a good rifle, like the new M2010's that the US army has adopted, or an Accuracy International AXMC rifle, or perhaps Barret's M107, or maybe even a Mausingfield Custom chambered for 6.5 Creedmoor and paired with a KRG Habu Chassis. I myself would very much have liked a Sako M10. If the young sniper is unlucky... well... he or she may wind up with an old rusty Remington 700 with a replacement bolt that hasn't been properly headspaced. Or worse, a Savage rifle..... *shivers*. However, most snipers like myself have landed somewhere inbetween. Many of us walking around with Tikka T3x Semi-Customs, Trued Remington 700s, Ruger Precision Rifles, maybe the occasional Mossberg MVP. The important thing to remember is, we are mammals just like you, and should be treated with the respect and understanding we deserve. Thank you for your time.

The greatest sniper who ever lived, Simo Hayha who had 505 confirmed kills for Finland during the Winter War in under 100 days with a Mosin M/28-30 rifle, oh, and it never had a scope on it, all of his kills were performed with open sights. The scopes of that time would fog up in the cold and Simo said having a scope meant he had to pick his head up more, exposing himself to the enemy. What Simo was though, was an expert hunter, even after he was badly wounded and after the war.

[@13thmistral]

Not as deadly, but indeed, being hit by a rifle round in your chest will put the target down and the target is likely to die by bleeding out afterwards anyhow.

Also if the chest shot does not kill the target, it will cause 1 or 2 guys more to evacuate the target, thus effectivily removing more than one with one shot.

Caleb Sanders aye exactly slowing breath not stopping it that always pisses me off in games where it's like stop breathing for like 7 seconds then horrible scope wobble. so unrealistic I've never once held my breath behind a scope but always slowed. besides who can only hold there breath for 7 seconds? personally my best is 2 minutes and 17 seconds. granted that's just standing there doing nothing so while doing something I'm sure that time would be shorter

I live out in the sticks somewhere in Britain, near a foresty place full of deer. And there is this guy who was a sniper in the army who is now payed to cull the deer so they don't overpopulate and cause problems. But he isn't a jerk so he uses a silencer so as not to scare the deer and he also uses a type of exploding bullets that shrapnel on impact to ensure the deer is most definitely put out of it's misery. And he never misses.

[@beverlywilliams8458]

Fun fact your thumbnail does not show a sniper rifle. A SVD Drugunov is a "Designated Marksman Rifle" (D.M.R.)

Logan Barnette the rifle it self, or the configuration of such does not determine whether it’s a DMR or true sniper rifle, It’s how one uses the rifle. I understand a bolt gun doesn’t make a very good DMR but a gas gun such as the SVD can be used either way it’s all about application.

Snipers is all about MATH FORMULA.

[@STEVEN-STEELE]

Reynaldo Collamat Jr The other factor is control of your nerves and breathing timeing and trigger squeeze You can see the cross hairs rise and fall with the intake and release of air. Its actually one of the fundamentals of acurate shot placement Inhale exhale half of the breath time the shot between heart beats. This has to be done the same way every time. The finger touches only the trigger a little contact with the stock of the rife can cause the shot to pull way off The cheek must rest the same place every time to obtain proper eye relief the eye not to forward nor to back from the scope with out it you get black half moon shadows in the redical these distances even less You have to have total control A fire fight going on will make very small jolts in the body so its tuned out and the shot is fired between heart beats Theres alot more than math Your hunting something that thinks and reasons really the most dangerous creature on the planet. A sniper in position will wait days even going on himself if the enemy is near study his target figure when the best time to take the shot will be. This is taken in acount while figuring the math

[@thebatman6781]

Reynaldo Collamat Jr Quick Mafs

[@artyomarty391]

sniping has nothing to do with math. Its all about experience and intuition with the rifle. No sniper sits there and calculates anything. Good snipers have shot so many bullets that they know how a bullet will fly given the current situation

[@minatozakisana2005]

@@artyomarty391 it does, when the target is farther than your rifle's effective range, you will always do math. Identifying target's range, size, direction and speed of the wind just to line up a shot will always need calculation to execute properly other than experience and other techniques

[@danieljohnson2316]

Artyom Arty you have to do math to figure out the range of whatever youre shooting at

[@watchtheworldburnpepe2921]

number 3 has been beaten!

[@veljkokolakovic6673]

One thing most people don't get, is that in combat zone, snipers don't aim at head that much. Only occasion where they aim for the head is when you want to kill your target instantly, so that he can't even let out a scream or shout, or in hostage situatuons for example when hostage is beeing held at gunpoint. There is much higher possiblity of hitting when you aim for the chest, and with stronger snipers, especialy Anti material rifles, target will most likely be dead from chest hit anyways. And also never forget that "Wounded>Dead enemy" rule in war. There is also a tactic where sniper intetnonaly aims to wound a solider instead of killing him, so that he would draw more soliders in open trying to help him.-

Don't remember a sniper boss battle in MGS2 either, but there was a situation where you had to disarm explosives placed between struts by shooting control boxes. And what's ridiculous, in both games you had to do drugs in order to have steady aim.
